oh beth we are kindred...my grandmother used to make the worlds best pound cake ever..and she would take it out of the oven before the center was done and my cousins and i would fight light animals to get to eat the center of it with a spoon..it was all doughy pudden' like ...i still like the centers of all cakes..ha

SO DO I! I have been known to rip the crust off bread. And I drive my coworkers crazy when we eat breakfast together... I eat the middle of the pancakes and leave the ring of edges on the plate! One time they cut up the edges into bite size pieces in an effort to disguise the ring so the waitress wouldn't think we were all weird. I just like the fluffy parts better I guess. ;)
